The School of Chinese Language in Kolkata is authorized by Hanban and Chinese Testing International,
Beijing, China to train Students and conduct Proficiency Exams (HSK) in Chinese.

The Schoolis India’s HSK TEST CENTRE!

We have been fortunate to placeThe School
in Sunny Park, a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Kolkata, to ensure convenience and a peaceful atmosphere of dedicated teaching
and learning. We expect to make the grasp of Mandarin (Putonghua) an interesting and useful experience for each one of the participants.

Our curricula have been formulated in consultation with our Chinese Teachers, Universities and the Consul General,
in accordance with international practices; stress is laid on correct phonetics and authentic teaching. Generally, each Session provides the
optimum time-span to learn this language. We maintain a Teacher:Student ratio of 1:15.

The School of Chinese Language offers, in Partnership with leading, reputable
Universities in China (recognized by Medical Council of India, Indian Embassy, World Health Organisation amongst others),
international-quality yet very affordable Medical Education (MBBS IN ENGLISH).

A complete mastery of Chinese may not be a very easy task for everyone; even the Chinese. An extremely well-educated Chinese
scholar has knowledge of about 6000 to 7000 characters. However, a normal educated person possesses the knowledge of about 2000
characters(as distinct from vocabulary); this knowledge is sufficient to read a Chinese newspaper, and to communicate very efficiently.
A proficient foreign student with a career in mind should understand anywhere between 1500 to 2000 characters.Chinese
vocabulary (the many different words made up of various combinations of such Chinese characters) are many fold more.
This study requires about 3 years - 3 years of dedication and passion followed by a period of one year in China.
The School
shall help you in this very possible task.Faculty consists of native Chinese Teachers, including specialists and highly qualified Teachers
from Government of China, and Indian Scholars conversant with contemporary China. With the sincere devotion of our expert and
professionally-qualified Teachers and your hard-work, practice, dedication and perseverance,
we expect all our students to achieve their goals, both short and long term.

The School partially subsidises the fee for meritorious Students of Chinese origin thereby supporting intellectual quality and
social diversity. Deserving students with outstanding ability, dedication and comprehension and grasp of Mandarin would thus create an energy in the
classroom and find the opportunity to join the revolution in the making.

The School also offers opportunity to avail of scholarships to Students joining MBBS Program of its
Cooperation Partner Universities in China as well as Chinese Language Courses in China.
